Design for Change Recovery offers customized detox and rehab programs for each client. We realize that each person has different needs and obligations to consider when planning a treatment approach. For individuals who can’t commit to an inpatient program, we provide short-term rehab options such as 10-day, 14-day, & 21-day rehab.
Our intensive, short-term rehab programs are conducted in a supportive, structured environment, overseen by skilled, compassionate staff and medical professionals. The length of the program is based on how severe your addiction is, among other factors.
The next step involves a medical evaluation to assess the status of your overall health. The exam will identify whether you need detoxification and have underlying health issues. The medical evaluation typically involves screenings, lab tests, and a physical examination.
The program itself consists of detox (if needed) and various therapies and counseling. Depending on the length of the program, you may participate in some or all of the following:
Short-term rehab can be done on an outpatient basis if necessary. However, you should have a strong support system to help you stay on track. An outpatient program is best for people who have mild to moderate addictions and can’t commit to an inpatient program.
The length of time you remain in detox is based on the substance involved, the duration of the addiction, and any underlying physical or mental health issues. Because some drugs cause intense or dangerous withdrawal symptoms, detox may take longer. Generally, for people with mild to moderate addictions, detox will take about 7 days. But, keep in mind this timeline is not the same for everyone.
The detox period can be shortened with medically assisted detoxification. Medications are administered to help reduce the discomfort of withdrawals and minimize cravings. They are also vital to helping prevent seizures and delirium tremens. The most common drugs administered during detox are naltrexone, methadone, and buprenorphine.
Each person experiences different levels of discomfort during detox. Due to differences in physical health and the severity of addictions, it’s difficult to predict which symptoms will appear. Despite these factors, most people experience some common withdrawal symptoms such as:
Not everyone will have all of the above symptoms, and some people struggle with severe withdrawal symptoms such as:
Because the severe symptoms can become life-threatening, no one should attempt detox on their own.
Short-term rehab is not a cure for addiction, but it does help you build a foundation for continued abstinence. The best way to prevent relapse after short-term rehab is to engage in various aftercare programs such as:
Remember, if relapse happens, don’t give up. Many people relapse in the early stages of recovery. How you respond to a relapse is the key. For instance, reach out to your counselor or support team for advice and support. Relapse may be a sign that you need longer-term rehabilitation or more intensive treatment.
